-.TH POSTBGI 1 "DWB 3.2"
-.SH NAME
-.B postbgi
-\- PostScript translator for
-.SM BGI
-(Basic Graphical Instructions) files
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\*(mBpostbgi\f1
-.OP "" options []
-.OP "" files []
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B postbgi
-translates
-.SM BGI
-(Basic Graphical Instructions)
-.I files
-into PostScript and writes the results on the
-standard output.
-If no
-.I files
-are specified, or if
-.OP \-
-is one of the input
-.IR files ,
-the standard input is read.
-The following
-.I options
-are understood:
-.TP 0.75i
-.OP \-c num
-Print
-.I num
-copies of each page.
-By default only one copy is printed.
-.TP
-.OP \-f name
-Print text using font
-.IR name .
-Any PostScript font can be used,
-although the best results will only be
-obtained with constant width fonts.
-The default font is Courier.
-.TP
-.OP \-m num
-Magnify each logical page by the factor
-.IR num .
-Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin,
-which by default is located at the center of
-each page.
-The default magnification is 1.0.
-.TP
-.OP \-n num
-Print
-.I num
-logical pages on each piece of paper,
-where
-.I num
-can be any positive integer.
-By default
-.I num
-is set to 1.
-.TP
-.OP \-o list
-Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
-.IR list .
-The list contains single numbers
-.I N
-and ranges
-.IR N1\-\|N2 .
-A missing
-.I N1
-means the lowest numbered page, a missing
-.I N2
-means the highest.
-.TP
-.OP \-p mode
-Print
-.I files
-in either \*(mBportrait\fP or \*(mBlandscape\fP
-.IR mode .
-Only the first character of
-.I mode
-is significant.
-The default
-.I mode
-is \*(mBportrait\fP.
-.TP
-.OP \-w num
-Set the line width used for graphics to
-.I num
-points, where a point is approximately 1/72
-of an inch.
-By default
-.I num
-is set to 0 points, which forces lines to be
-one pixel wide.
-.TP
-.OP \-x num
-Translate the origin
-.I num
-inches along the positive x axis.
-The default
-coordinate system has the origin fixed at the
-center of the page, with positive
-x to the right and positive y up the page.
-Positive
-.I num
-moves everything right.
-The default offset is 0 inches.
-.TP
-.OP \-y num
-Translate the origin
-.I num
-inches along the positive y axis.
-Positive
-.I num
-moves everything up the page.
-The default offset is 0 inches.
-.TP
-.OP \-E name
-Set the character encoding for text fonts to
-.IR name .
-Requesting
-.I name
-means include file
-.MI \*(dQ name .enc \f1.
-A nonexistent encoding file is silently ignored.
-The default selects file
-.MR \*(dQ/Default.enc .
-.TP
-.OP \-L file
-Use
-.I file
-as the PostScript prologue.
-.br
-The default is
-.MR \*(dQ/postbgi.ps .
-.PP
-Three options allow insertion of arbitrary PostScript
-at controlled points in the translation process:
-.TP 0.75i
-.OP \-C file
-Copy
-.I file
-to the output file;
-.I file
-must contain legitimate PostScript.
-.TP
-.OP \-P string
-Include
-.I string
-in the output file;
-.I string
-must be legitimate PostScript.
-.TP
-.OP \-R action
-Requests special
-.I action
-(e.g.,
-.MR manualfeed )
-on a per page or global basis.
-The
-.I action
-string can be given as
-.IR request ,
-.IM request : page\f1\|,
-or
-.IM request : page : file\f1\|.
-If
-.I page
-is omitted or given as 0, the request
-applies to all pages.
-If
-.I file
-is omitted, the request
-lookup is done in
-.MR \*(dQ/ps.requests .
-.PP
-.B postbgi
-can handle
-.SM STARE
-(black and white) and
-.SM PRISM
-(color)
-.SM BGI
-jobs.
-By default plots are rigidly scaled to fill the page, which produces
-the good results for most
-.SM STARE
-jobs.
-.SM PRISM
-jobs typically fill regions with colors, and often require device
-specific tuning to produce acceptable results.
-Adding the
-.MW \-P"/prism\ true\ def"
-option is strongly recommended when
-.B postbgi
-is translating
-.SM PRISM
-jobs.
-.br
-.ne 7v
-.SH EXAMPLES
-For most
-.SM STARE
-jobs,
-.EX
-postbgi \f2file
-.EE
-gives good results, while
-.EX
-postbgi \-P"/prism true def" \f2file
-.EE
-is recommended when translating
-.SM PRISM
-jobs.
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-A 0 exit status is returned if
-.I files
-were successfully processed.
-.SH BUGS
-The default line width is too small for write-white
-print engines, like the one used by the PS-2400.
-Several
-.SM BGI
-opcodes have not been implemented.
